2012 Map of Currant Mountain

About this map

Currant Mountain dominates the high-elevation landscape of this 2012 survey, marking a significant peak within the White Pine Range. The map details a complex high-desert environment defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Duckwater Peak to the depression of Corduroy Basin. This region is characterized by a reliance on critical water sources like Deer Spring, Limerick Spring, and Saddle Spring, which would have been vital for any historical livestock operations or travelers moving through the area. Human passage is marked by a network of high-clearance routes, including Natl Forest Develop Road 405 Rd crossing through Beef Pass. Small drainages such as Currant Cr and the upper reaches of the White River illustrate the drainage patterns of this arid terrain, providing a look at the essential topography that shaped land use in this part of Nevada.
